FOLLOWING the heightened insecurity situation and flooding in the country, the Chairman Board of Trustee, National Agricultural Foundation of Nigeria (NAFN), Senator Abdullahi Adamu, has predicted food shortage next year.
Adamu who lamented that the nation's agricultural sector had been the worst hit due to insecurity and natural disaster, suggested that government needed to embark on massive sensitisation of farmers on dry season farming through irrigation method to avert shortage of food in the country
The senator who stated this while briefing journalists in Abuja on the activities of the sixth edition of the National Agricultural Show, said that to reduce the hunger menace that may face the nation, there was need for government to increase effort in food storage and preservation, and also embark on emergency farming.
those in power should better find something to do about this
i am not a part of the prediction because my food supplier is God
thats their own, for me God is my supplier
Why wont there be food shortage when we have abandoned agriculture while focusing all our attention on oil.
we don't want this kind of prediction o.we need gud predictions now that wld improve dis country...
Its not about predictions, God will not come down and plant yam and beans for us to eat, its our responsibility to do the right thing to get the right results.
